We discussed the idea of "inertia" in the socio-economic system that complicates responses to climate change:
Davis, S. J., Caldeira, K., & Matthews, H. D. (2010). Future CO2 emissions and climate change from existing energy infrastructure. Science (New York, N.Y.), 329(5997), 1330–3. doi:10.1126/science.1188566 http://www.sciencemag.org/content/329/5997/1330.abstract
We explored the idea of "Geo-cybernetics" as a promising perspective for research, using the following two papers:
